The amount of people who vote against their self interests is staggering.
The $30,000 a year guy in Kansas that thinks he is a Republican as he receives his farm subsidies.
The Tea Party mental invalids who want government out of their medicare.
The neocons and their wannabe Chicken Hawk followers who pushed for Unitary Executive Theory for Bush but now want super majorites for Obama.
The most obvious, tax breaks for the rich that do not work and make things worse, pushed for by under-employed rural rubes complaining about wealth redistribution.
First off, you don't have any wealth. Second, most of the city and Federal services you have are paid for by big cities' taxes that were redistributed so you can live your intellectually sheltered life.
More examples:
All those Orange alerts when Bush’s rating were slumping? Staged.
WMD and mushroom clouds? They never existed in 2001. Used to sell the invasion and mobilize war. Cheney was CEO of Halliburton and Sec of Defense and he had his minions in the Pentagon, like Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz, and his trump card, Colin Powell, systematically deceieve the public to create “War Inc.” for his once and future contributors.
19 Saudi students on 9/11 produces 2 wars, Patriot Act, warrant-less domestic wire taps, suspending of Habeas Corpus, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib.
2004’s Gay Marriage Amendment was just a wedge issue to get bigoted GOP voters out. It was Karl Rove channeling Lee Atwater.
GOP Tax breaks for only the richest 1% increased income disparity.
Promote “Culture of Life” yet start wars, favor domestic executions, use Health Care debate to misinform and scare Americans, particularly the elderly.
Tax cuts for the rich as Bush increases spending and borrowing. “Deficits don’t matter” - Dick Cheney. Those cuts were used to get votes which added trillions in debt.
Strict Constitutional interpretation? As long as you’re a corporation.
Use Right Wing echo chamber and radical AM Radio clerics to channel “birther” and other coded messages. No party has the ability to be “more American” but factless Tea Baggers and Arizona GOP would have you believe different.
